RAV4 4WD L4-2.5L (2AR-FE) (2009)
Drive/Propeller Shaft: Component Tests and General Diagnostics
PROPELLER SHAFT: PROPELLER SHAFT ASSEMBLY: INSPECTION
INSPECTION
1. INSPECT PROPELLER SHAFT WITH CENTER BEARING SHAFT ASSEMBLY
(a) Using a dial indicator, measure the propeller shaft runout for the front side.
Maximum runout:
0.4 mm (0.02 in.)
-
If the shaft runout is more than the maximum, replace the propeller shaft.
NOTE: Place the dial indicator on the center of the shaft, and perpendicular to the shaft.
(b) Using a dial indicator, measure the propeller shaft runout for the rear side.
Maximum runout:
0.4 mm (0.02 in.)
If the shaft runout is more than the maximum, replace the propeller shaft.
NOTE: Place the dial indicator on the center of the shaft, and perpendicular to the shaft.
2. INSPECT JOINT ANGLE
NOTE: Perform the measurement with a 4 post lift or pit so that the vehicle is supported by all 4 wheels as if it were on the ground.
(a) Before the angle measurement, stabilize each part by performing procedures like those described below.
(1) Rotate the propeller shaft several times by hand.
(2) Set the jack to the differential, and raise and lower the differential.
(b) Using SST and a straightedge, measure the angle of the transfer flange (angle D) and the angle of the intermediate shaft (angle A).
SST: 09370-50010
NOTE: Make sure the straightedge and SST are at a right angle.
(1) Subtract the measured angle of the intermediate shaft (angle A) from the measured angle of the transfer flange (angle D) to obtain the No. 1
